Hi Andi:
Thanks for your reply firstly.
I check the code and find that "of all...hits" is also used to describe miss ratio of
L1-icache, dTLB cache, iTLB cache, LL-cache. Relevant code as follow:

stat-shadow.c:509:      out->print_metric(config, out->ctx, color, "%7.2f%%", "of all L1-dcache hits", ratio);
stat-shadow.c:530:      out->print_metric(config, out->ctx, color, "%7.2f%%", "of all L1-icache hits", ratio);
stat-shadow.c:550:      out->print_metric(config, out->ctx, color, "%7.2f%%", "of all dTLB cache hits", ratio);
stat-shadow.c:570:      out->print_metric(config, out->ctx, color, "%7.2f%%", "of all iTLB cache hits", ratio);
stat-shadow.c:590:      out->print_metric(config, out->ctx, color, "%7.2f%%", "of all LL-cache hits", ratio);
stat-shadow.c:875:                      print_metric(config, ctxp, NULL, NULL, "of all L1-dcache hits", 0);
stat-shadow.c:885:                      print_metric(config, ctxp, NULL, NULL, "of all L1-icache hits", 0);
stat-shadow.c:895:                      print_metric(config, ctxp, NULL, NULL, "of all dTLB cache hits", 0);
stat-shadow.c:905:                      print_metric(config, ctxp, NULL, NULL, "of all iTLB cache hits", 0);
stat-shadow.c:915:                      print_metric(config, ctxp, NULL, NULL, "of all LL-cache hits", 0);

So, may I send a patch to fix all these strings?

Thanks,
